so i have officially moved again - for very real - change of address and all - me and eric are living together finally and its amazing - we live in crown heights and are off a bunch of different train lines - the A C 3 and the LIRR - needless to say its great!

the thing is - i just moved - and am feeling really exhausted by the whole process of putting everything i own into boxes and having to deal with the shit under your bed that you put there so that you dont have to deal with it - so here is my top five most annoying things about moving -

1 - PACKING YOUR LIFE UP - i dont want to be reminded of the garbage of life - i really dont

2 - the change of address - bills - important things stuff - dont even get me started

3 - the mess - jesus how did i live with all this dust in my life

4 - the stuff you need to buy again and again - trash cans?  plungers? ugh

5 - putting furniture together - can’t we just buy new ones that are already together and delivered to the spot i want them in?

….

and because i am trying this positivity thing - here is my top five great things about moving - because the process sucks but the end result is in fact awesome

1 - you actually get to do a good clean and purge and at the end of the day that feels great

2 - new stuff is kind of cool - i secretly like shopping for the house

3 - a chance to reorganize your life - move your furniture and get out of that old rut you were in is really good for the soul!

4 - i have two kitties now - i know terence is sad but its better than reality tv

5 - ERIC is here ALL THE TIME - nothing like nesting - its melting my little heart

i ride all over this incredible city and its fucking great!!!!

i am tough!

and yes i wear a helmet!

1 - New York is a fucking crazy city - it really is - there arent just a few random strange things going on here - there is always some crazy shit going down - some guy yelling on the subway - some horse cop freaking out and running a muck in traffic in the city - some fucking guy walking around with a snake on his neck on a wednesday afternoon - you see fucking insane shit here ALL THE TIME and you just have to get used to it

2 - this city smells fucking awful - seriously - how on earth did i not notice how bad it was when i lived here before

3 - new yorkers are in love with themselves - this is pretty obvious but hilarious to realize once again

4 - new yorkers LOVE to fight - and fight they will - they YELL and PUNCH and PUSH and go fucking crazy at the drop of a dime - I saw two OLD OLD men with grey hair get in a fist fight around the corner from my house - i kind of secretly love this one - i totally fight with people all the time and definitely punched the window of an SUV that almost ran me over the other than and proceeded to have a screaming match with him for 5 minutes - AWESOME

5 - this city is filled with gorgeous people - period
